Both Teams To Score YES
Although Marseille have not scored a goal in their opening two Champions League matches, they are determined to break the goal drought against impressive Sporting Lisbon. They are playing in front of their fans and that should provide them enough boost against the Portuguese side, who have won their opening games against Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham.
Marseille to Win/Draw
The French Ligue 1 have lost their opening two Champions League matches against Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 and 1-0 at home and away respectively. Marseille would give anything to ensure they get their first points in the group stage this season. They did not perform badly in both games that ended in defeats and hopefully, they would show Sporting, who are underdogs for this tie, what they have learned.
Under 3.5 Goals
Marseille haven’t conceded more than two goals per game in the Champions League and are averaging 0 goals per game, having gone blank in both games. They are decent at the back and Sporting will struggle to create many chances, hence forcing this game to result in next to few goals.
Get Rich Quick
There are huge chances that both teams may struggle to beat the other, hence making draw a likely option. Draw option has odds of 3.46 at 22bet.
